Light My Fire


Rane, one of the blah to TADA!'s lovely readers
challenged me to transform blah dryer lint into a TADA!
I hope I haven't disappointed her so far.

As I've mentioned in the previous posts,
dryer lint is highly flammable,
so it's important to take care when re-using it.

But today, we'll take advantage of its flaming super power by
crafting a fire starter kit.

Fill a box or tin with dryer lint.
Add a set of matches or a lighter,
and TADA! -- simple materials to
get a fire going for your next camping trip.

Put the box of lint & matches in a
resealable plastic bag to prevent
it from getting wet.

Happy camping!

  1. Oh my! Your starter kit is much prettier than my baggie of lint! Thanks to your blog I look at everything in a new way!

  2. Awww, thanks Saskatoon Laura! This kit is made from an old box and the floral paper is actually a page from an old catalog. Must add a little "style" to hardcore camping, heehee :)

  3. All of your lint creations are fantastic! I wonder if you've heard of Green Craft magazine by Stampington and Co? They are always calling for creations. I am 100% certain they would publish some of the things that you have done if you submit them! Here's the link, I highly encourage you! http://www.stampington.com/html/greencraft.html

  4. Thanks for your encouragement Vanessa! I've seen Green Craft at the bookstore and made a mental note to possibly send them a query...I need a little bit of courage. It'll be on my TO DO list :)

  5. What about dryer sheets to hold the lint? Are they safe?
